[gentoo-user] Disk image

2005-09-10 Thread Pupeno 
Hello,
Is it possible to make an image of my whole 40GiB HD into a file in another, 
bigger HD, including all my partitions, grub, everything.
I want to re-install this computer, but I want to be able to go back easily if 
I need it.
Thanks.

This can be done using tar, dd or partimage.


Best regards

You can take a look at a recent thread called Copying between hard drives 
potential newbie question. There was a discussion there about the same 
thing :)

If you want to include the whole drive, including partition table,
extended partition information and the bootloader, you'll need to use dd.
